Subject: anti-shake imminent? we can dream....
All,
I just checked the US Patent Trademark Office "Pregrant Publication
Database". I got a list of 14 documents that Pentax has filed since Jan
1, 2005 that include either the phrase "anti-shake" or "shake correction"
in the title.
We all know that Pentax has many patents for technologies that they never
productized themselves, but this looks like a lot of activity in a short
period of time. We can hope, can't we?
Perhaps they stay in business by inventing technology and then licencing it
to other companies, without implementing it in their own products.
